Well, if Tiger's ops is "sh1ite", how is then AirAsia's?

I guess any given employee in AirAsia earns about half of that in Tiger.

You might call this a success for TF... - of course you cannot compare those two. AirAsia is a LCC from a poor and corrupt country. There are no white men in power in Malaysia or in Thailand.

You as a pilot community should be very happy about LCC in the class of Tiger. They don't offer the same T&Cs as SIA or Cathay. But at least they are worlds apart from airlines in Malaysia, Indonesia or Thailand. What would you do if Tony Fernandez would take over the world? - your T&Cs would errode much more.

But the problem will be solved by itself. Airlines from such countries have a miserable safety record, and it's a matter of time until it shows in Airlines with managers who blame white guys...
